Zakhar did such a beautiful job creating my arrangement. He also went the extra mile to add samples to the real violins to give it a richer sound. He sent me a zip folder with all the files clearly labeled which will make things easier on my engineer. Most of all the arrangement he created brought me to tears. He gave me more than one option to choose from and I will definitely be working with him again.

My first time working with Zakhar he did a fantastic job. Gave me lots of options of different takes, and versions to work with, all on different tracks (stems). The strings are recorded flawlessly and sound amazing. He is great to work with and really came through on this project. Highly recommended!!
